i. id
it’s hard to see the clear outlines of my fists
but is it because i can’t see through the tears that seem to
blur the world
more often as i realize
or is it because of the
anger
how dare they?
shame
do not let it get to you.
it’s just a passing feeling.
fear
there’s nothing to fear when we’re here.
there’s nothing to fear when we’re here.
disgust
they’re monsters.
…
(or is it you?)
i
i want
i want to
i want to feel
i want to feel something,
anything.
now.
Now.
N O W.
ii. superego
but it’s a mess we don’t want to untangle
you’re shoving them away again.
a mess, ages old that’s best remained tangled and forgotten
until it chokes us.
i’ll be okay.
we’re okay.
iii. ego
not now
but soon. 🙂
